Roosevelt, by Robert H. Jackson Edited and Introduced by John Q. Barrett (read 17 Sep 2005) This was written by Jackson--attorney-general and Supreme Court justice--and not published till 2003. It tells in 8 frank chapters about Jackson's times with FDR, and he evaluates him as politician, lawyer, commander-in-chief, administrator, economist, companion and sportsman, and Leader. Though admiratory of Roosevelt it does not give him high marks in some of those roles. I found the book fun to read because it deals with behind the scenes events concerning a period I lived through and know well. The book also has a good bibliographical essay on Roosevelt and the writings by people of his adminstration. This was a good and easy book to read and a good behind the scenes account of interesting times. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
